You're right that the picture is of Moore Avenue and Guelph Street. And I think it's fair to say that there were frequent changes to the detours of the 4 and the 200 during construction. I also don't think they were always communicated effectively.
On GRT's coverage map, there is a white space centred around where Mr. O'Seashain lives, one of only a few urban neighbourhoods where GRT does not meet its coverage goal of a bus stop within 450 metres of 95% of residents and jobs. I don't particularly agree with that goal, and I still think getting the 4 off of Moore was a good idea, but I can sympathize with him about his bus service changing so frequently the last few years.
The PARTS Midtown planning seems to understand the importance of providing good links through the cemetery to King Street. I think the cemetery's paths are well-maintained, but finishing the walk to King through parking lots can be unpleasant even in the summer, and challenging in the winter. Improved links to King will be important for good transit access for the Mount Hope neighbourhood.
